Description
James is an American TV network news producer who grew up Southern Baptist in the heart of Evangelical Christian country in Texas. His dad was heavily into End Times theology and anticipated Jesus' imminent return. When his mom re-married, he endured an alcoholic and extremely abusive step-father until his step-father was finally taken to jail. Shockingly, the church rallied around his step-father. From a young age, James never stopped asking all the right questions. His questions led him to exciting discoveries in science. He also gained a wonderful and diverse group of friends. He is now a Secular Humanist. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com http://krauss.faculty.asu.edu/books/a-universe-from-nothing/ https://richarddawkins.net https://www.amazon.com/God-Delusion-Richard-Dawkins/dp/0618918248 Christopher Hitchens https://www.amazon.com/God-Not-Great-Religion-Everything/dp/0446697966/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SDK1XBK6G1A4FYY0K2RV Sam Harris https://www.amazon.com/Letter-Christian-Nation-Sam-Harris/dp/0307278778/ref=pd_sim_14_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0307278778&pd_rd_r=ENMBZBGDVT7HBWJZFKRB&pd_rd_w=F8JUr&pd_rd_wg=meCPY&psc=1&refRID=ENMBZBGDVT7HBWJZFKRB http://www.whywontgodhealamputees.com The Thinking Atheist-Seth Andrews http://www.thethinkingatheist.com The Friendly Atheist-Hemant Mehta http://friendlyatheistpodcast.com The Internet!
